Drum It With Brummet

Why Join In Groups When Taking Drum Classes *Today's article was written by Lorena Bays, for Melodica.ae , a music and dance institute located in India. Learning to play a musical instrument can be immensely beneficial, regardless if the student is a child or an adult. Music, as they say, is the universal language after all. Just staying still and silent while listening to a song or a piece of music can already move you, make you feel all kinds of emotions; being able to create or play that music, on the other hand, brings a new dimension to the experience of musical enjoyment. You become attuned to an art, you hone a skill that other people can appreciate, and you are able to fulfill your own goals of artistic expression. So if you have decided to sign up for music such as drums classes, the next question would be whether to choose one-on-one instruction or to join other music enthusiasts in a group class. Your passion could lie in strumming the guitar, or coaxing sorrowful tunes ...

If Drums Were Lost * Written by Dave Brummet As a drum teacher I was asked recently by a student, what would it be like if there were no drums? It took me a minute or two to come up with an answer that could possibly explain the loss of what I do for an income/hobby, and more importantly what it would mean to music. It is hard to imagine life with out the rhythm we hear in our popular music. No rock and roll, blues, funk, disco, reggae, jazz as we know it  as they all are rhythm based. It is almost unthinkable what the world itself would be like if the drums were gone… First lets go back to an era where there was actually was an absence of drums in music.   James Blades author of Percussive Instruments and Their History , wrote: “ With the adoption of Christianity by the Roman Empire, percussive music was banned as mischievous and licentious; the drums and cymbals were particularly singled out as evidence of the devil’s pomposity ”.   As B.C. becomes A.D., drums...

  Quote of the Day  *Excerpted from an interview we did on the Mcfly Book Bliss Blog Q : Who, or what, inspired you to pursue a career in writing?  Dave:   " I was inspired by various sci-fi writers at first and felt I would go the fiction route but haven’t yet found the time to develop anything of my own in that genre.  I definitely have some story ideas rattling around in my head. Some day… I was also inspired by Neil Peart, he’s the drummer and lyricist from Rush. He inspired me as a drummer to get songwriting credits whenever I am involved with original music.  Oddly enough, as a drummer, there are no credits for your performance as compared to a guitarist, keyboard player or songwriter.  So I started by writing song lyrics and most of my poetry found in our Rhythm & Rhyme book is also penned in that style ." ~~   Visit the Brummet's   Main Website Find them elsewhere online  HERE   ~~
